From Just for a Day (1991). A track with swirling, dreamy guitar washes. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so a Fender Player Jaguar through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue stands in. Set the amp at a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Tuning isn't documented here.
